We all know Volkswagen as a good quality German car with other words People’s car. Many years ago finding such car in USA was a quite hard task. Nowadays VW isn’t that tough to find. Yes, we are talking about the whole range Touareg, Passat, Jetta, New Beetle, Eos, Rabbit, GTI and R32. The place […]

The Golf R32 is by no means slow but the sheer number of tuning kits available for the torquey hot-hatch reveals there are a lot of people out there who disagree.

When the Volkswagen R32 first arrived stateside, enthusiasts gave the hot hatch a hero’s welcome. The all wheel-drive, VR6-powered Alpha rabbit made its pre-GTI siblings look like a bunch of ectomorphic accountants at a supermodel slumber party. The R32 was rare, fast, agile, sharp-looking and tighter than the Osmond family at Thanksgiving dinner. The latest […]
